marine - first, thanks for your service to our country! Much appreciated on my part.

IMO, the M-21 is one of the best places to start on a SXS target gun. You can have a new stock made for a M-21 if you wish to store the OE stock for possible future resale. I think you ill be better served by buying a good condition gun as this usually also indicates one not shot excessively. I found an aftermarket stock at a gunshow and fitted it to my Skeet gun. Dale Tate in Calf. bent and padded it out for me. Andy's is out of business - be thankful you didn't have work there (sad story - check threads).
